Answer summary
As a Canadian citizen planning to visit Thailand for 15 days, you may not need a visa as Canada is among the countries eligible for visa-exempt entry, allowing stays of up to 60 days. However, it is recommended to check for the latest updates regarding potential changes to this policy. Additionally, you will need to complete the TDAC arrival card online before your trip.

At this time people from 90+ countries (Canada included) can get in to thailand free stamp (visa exempt) entry for 60 days without purchasing any visa.
There is talk by the thai government that they will reduce the 60 days down to 30 but even if they do that between now and your planned trip here that won't affect your planned stay,

There's a lot of flip-flopping on that subject right now?Tod *********
@Christer ****
not so much, they came out a while back and talked about reducing it to 30 days from 60 but then there hasn't been a peep about it sinceTod *********
@Christer ****
you can be as confused as you want, Right now the visa exempt entry is 60 days just like it's been for those 90+ countries since July 15, 2024.
Now whether they will shorten it to 30, no one knows, and there's been nothing official about it
With all the bad information out on the inter-web about entry/visa/extension to thailand I wouldn't doubt that AI gets it wrong.
Bad data equals bad info out 🙁
I'm telling you how it is right now, you can believe me or not 🙂

@Tod ********
I'm confused, AI pulls information from for example Siam legal and claims 30 days. It believe they still talk about cutting down due to the amount of crime resultingTod *********
Sadly
Since July 15th 2024 there are 90+ countries which get stamped in for 60 days (Sweden included)

@Christer ****
unless you're talking about entering LAST year (2024) that is 100% false, 😮 😕 Since July 15th 2024 there are 90+ countries which get stamped in for 60 days (Sweden included)

From Sweden, going in, the visa was for a period down to thirty. Then they said by 15 July it should be up to 60 againActivity
